The Jacksonville School of Culinary Arts

The focus for this project was to create a multi-use facility in downtown Jacksonville that included a residential, retail and culinary school program. I focused on using the interaction between the private and public spaces and the abundant natural daylight of Jacksonville to create memorable spaces that were guided by daylight, but driven by experience.
